Chapter 504 The Grand Auction (part-13)
504 The Grand Auction (part-13)
Meanwhile, at the Auction House, Xin Rui revealed the properties of the pill in her hand, "This pill is from a trusted source but we cannot reveal its origins. However, what we can tell you is that swallowing this pill will raise your cultivation level by one, permanently. Even a legendary realm warrior will become a supreme realm expert just by swallowing this pill. There will be no wall, side effects, or whatever. But the catch here is that it only works on those professions that work on magic, such as Mages, summoners, Dungeon creators, etc… The best way of using it is to give this pill to a peak stage legendary realm Mage so that he/she becomes a Supreme Being instantly. Please do note that this doesn't work on Supreme Beings or above realms, not that it is worth mentioning but still…
Anyway, this item without any grade has a minimum price of 100 million gold coins. Each raise is 10 million. Just like every time, the final three items have a reserve period of 1 year and a reserve price of 10%. This time, we are reducing the reserve price to a mere 5%. With that said, let the bidding begin.
A series of paddles were raised in the air.
The guests who weren't actively participating in earlier bids also participated now. Most of them didn't even have the minimum amount but they were willing to win this, keeping their hopes on the reserved item system of Void Temple.
How does this work?
Well, the Void Temple will pay the sellers the full amount of the winning bid from their pockets.
On the other hand, they will take reserve fees from the winners and keep them in the vault for a period of time.
If the winner comes with the remaining amount in time, they get to claim the item. Or else, the amount they paid to reserve the item will be gone into Void Temple as compensation.
Then, the item will make its way to the next Grand Auction.
Several times, the bidders fell for this scheme and lost millions but they kept falling for it because none of those winners had a weak background. Such people often have the confidence to accomplish difficult feats, which seems absurd to common people.
Just like that, the miracle pill of cultivation has garnered tough competition from the guests. Unfortunately, Yu Tiajin, Rong Huang, and Li Na, the ones who spent too much during the previous biddings, were out of the competition.
Hence, it didn't go as far as the Battle Robot-VIII but went just close enough to increase Mark's heartbeat. His companions, on the other hand, have no idea about this item. They remained calm. Shen Ling even commented that there's so much economic disparity there in Dragon Empire that she was feeling angry and envious at the same time. "520 million, once, twice, sold"
"Congratulations, Tang Weimin on winning item no. 12, The Intelligence Augmentation Pill"

"Coming to the second of the final three, we introduce the Battle Robot-VIII once again. Its abilities are completely identical to item no. 4." Xin Rui shocked the VIPs by taking out the robot once again. Pointing her hand to the robot standing still beside her, she said, "Originally, they were supposed to be sold as a set of two, but as the unique item that needs evidence of its strength to prove, we had to send one to the challenging round, of course with the consent of its seller.
We shall put the minimum price on this item at 100 million, the same as the previous item.
VIP BOX No.12; Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"F**k this lady…" The Prince couldn't control his anger this time. "She made me spend so much on other items. Now, I have to spend hundreds of millions on this? What to do? What to do… The earlier item will be enough to satisfy that brother of mine. In fact, I don't need to participate anymore as the next item belongs to our family. But…"
He fell into a dilemma, not being able to decide. In the meantime, the bidding war started among those who were too desperate to win a big item as they had money but couldn't win so far. With three major players out of the race and the remaining might focus on the final item, they felt like they should win this penultimate bidding war. In fact, during the next thirty minutes, several meetings happened between these individuals to acquire others' money as a loan.
Tang Weimin, in the end, joined the race as it crossed 300 million.
This bidding war went the longest. It was already evening eight by the time the leading bid entered 700 million.
Mark was trying his best to control his feelings but one could see the illusion of gold coins instead of his pupils as he intensely stared at the competition.
"840 once, twice, sold"
"Congratulations, Tang Weimin on winning item no. 13, Battle Robot-VIII"
Yu Tiajin raised his fist in excitement and shouted, "Haha, that's a 200 million loss for you, Prince Tang." He clearly mocked the prince, who looked like his entire life force was just drained from his body. Tang Weimin looked so pale at the moment and he could barely let out a laugh. "Hehe… whatever… the money will be retrieved once our item will be sold."
*Clap*
"Now, the last item of the auction."
For this item, she didn't directly take it out of the ring and grab it in her hand.
Instead, she placed the ring on the floor and then poured her ether energy into the storage ring.
Amid the expectations of the appearance of Heaven grade divine item (Celestial grade), an iron box, the size of a Jewelry box that has ornaments, appeared on the ground, taking everyone by surprise.
"It's an unnamed Indestructible Box. As the name suggests, this box made of unknown material is practically indestructible. Since we lack immortals and above-realm warriors, we are not sure about its durability, but at the very least, not even the strongest combined attack of the Dragon clan's founder and those two who you have witnessed earlier could put a scratch on this box.
Another usage of this box is that it is estimated to weigh over one billion kilograms. Whether you are fast enough to defend the attacks from your enemies or not, you can still kill the opponents with a slam or a throw. "Hmm?"
Mark activated his Eye of God in curiosity.
"What in the…"
